Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Shawn

Yep its a communication ad extension - it wasn't open to all advertisers at first. You need to check in your account to see if you can add this extention in camp/adword settings if you dont see it then contact adwords support, it was trialing, but might now be live for one and all... anyone know?

Theres loads of diff. communication extensions - see here for a full list

Agree with the above, work out what each KW is worth in terms of revenue, however, there are many KW, depending how LT and varied the KW are, that can be targetted within the same page without seeing the list of KW though, it would be difficult to estimate. We've often managed top 3 results for closely related groups of 3/4 variations around a keyword so qualifiers like "cheap" + main keyword or "buy" + main keyword (relating to price/purchase) and also quality like "boutique" or "luxury" or "budget".

This is exactly what i do and have found the same result. In fact, at this moment in time well over half my links don't show in SEOMOZ

Hi

Like everyone I've read a lot about rel=author but is there a reason not to use it?

For instance, if you're running the content, as I am, for a travel company, we have individual writers writing the content and guides to cities/hotels/tours etc, but none of our competitors are using rel=auithor, so we certainly do stand out. But does the "personal" touch of rel=author dilute trust in some cases?

For instance, if you're booking a specific hotel in London and you type in the hotel name looking for the best rate, do you really want to see a face you don't know beside a "corporate result"?

Is anyone in an industry where rel=author is being used in conjunction with products/product reviews. It will work for Gary V and wine, but will it work everywhere? Rel=author is touted everywhere as a sure fire bet... but are there times to back off from using it?

Hi Shawn

Even more and up to date info here: http://www.webranking.com/blog/communication-ad-extensions-for-google-adwords#axzz1wTsZPxfK

by "limited" its by query and even advertiser, I know its open in my field of travel, are any of your competitors using it? Either way, hit up your acc. manager? Should be able to let you know and yes, in answer to your question, should be where the screenshot you attached is.

Notice this becoming less and less of a problem, I don't find it takes much to beat exact match domains tha havent done much optimising. However, if they have, for sure its an advantage.

I ask because I notice in individual Google profile you must fill in "contributor to" to get the rel=author to work, but that doesn't exist in the company Google profile. Im guessing the "Links" page in the Google + for a company then is how to verify?

Hi

We have a set of reviewed products (in this case restaurants) that total an average rating of 4.0/5.0 from 800 odd  reviews.

We know to use schema/restaurant for individual restaurants we promote but what about for a list of cities, say restaurants in boston for example. For the product page containing all of Boston restaurants -

should we use schema.org/restaurant (but its not 1 physical restaurant)

or schema.org - product + agg review score?

What do you do for your product listing pages?

If we get it wrong, is there a penalty? Or this just simply up to us?

I agree with Egol. That page doesn't deliver an answer right there, chances are you'd have to spend some time trying to find it. What's the KW?

Hi Johnathon

Not sure if you read the blog from yesterday or day before but DMEGs is one of several (http://www.seomoz.org/directories) that still seems good.

Without a crystal ball, I don't know if this is a directory that is going to get penguined or not. Anyone?

Im another for blog on domain and ending /blog not blog.domain.

There's a few key directories that are mentioned time and again as supersafe, Yahoo, BOTW, DMOZ, Business plus a few others. I'd be interested to know what biz you're trying to promote. For example, I've heard (and someone can correct me please if im wrong) that the mor niche you are, the more likely you are to get buried and the less the link means - ie, if you run a B&B in Kensington, you'll be HOME>TRAVEL>ACCOMMODATION>HOTELS>EUROPE>UNITED KINGDOM>LONDON>KENSINGTON - this may be an ott example, but you get the jist.

anyone?

OK, so a wide range of clothing options cuts out the niche problem, WW delivery?

Guess it also depends on how far you are with DA already. With a newer, low DA site may well be worth it. As long as you're happy to never get a hit from it, and absorb it all into your link budget...
